Hi, I'm The Fediverse Chick, and I've been trying to reach you about your car's extended warranty!
- Hi! I'm the Fediverse Chick, I've been trying to reach you about a Nigerian prince heritage.
  
  Hi, I'm the Fediverse Chick, and you've won 15 million dollars in the World l0ttery!

The real joke for me is lemmy being so starved of content a meme is cast of the first big spam message and people are irritatedly commenting that they haven't gotten it yet
- You got any more of them memes?
  Shakes with withdrawal
  Hey man, come on. Don't hold out!
- The beans where huge too back then
  
  I need to not poop for three days.
  
  I was there when Lemmy had beans
- You've made me realize I haven't received it. The fomo is suddenly so real.

I finally got hit today, was feeling left out of the fun.
- I've been hit so many times I should have a purple heart. This screenshot is akin to a NK general showing off his stripes.
  
  I’ve got that same collection and I’m actually excitedly waiting for the red blouse message.
  
  That's wild, I only got hit once months ago. She must really have the hots for you.*wink wink *nudge nudge
  
  I think she only contacted me thrice. Now I'm sad, I think she doesn't really love me.
- Oh hey, I got her today as well! I guess she's expanding the reach
- Same! I was starting to think I was doing Lemmy wrong or something
- Now if I can only figure out how to get Lemmy to let me delete the damned thing…
- I have not gotten hit.
- Me as well, what am I supposed to do with this now?

Can someone explain?
- I can't explain, no, because I don't understand the motivation behind it.
  But someone (likely a bot) has been spamming messages, allegedly from the person depicted, as "the Fediverse chick." I got my first one this morning. It arrived within sixty seconds of me making a post, so I have to guess it's targeting more active users. If you're a frequent commenter, you'll probably get one eventually, too.
  
  I’m more of a lurker so I guess I’m invisible lol
  
  I almost never comment so this is a test.
  
  Last week I got two in about an one hour time span I think, but they came from different accounts.
- The first spammer of the fediverse.
- So you are the unfound one, I see
- You'll find someone special for you one day 🙏

What did I miss?
- A bot that messages you, for like fake hookups and stuff. I got another one this morning. It says She's polish studying in Toronto:D I forgot her name though.
  
  Her Name's Nicole.
- there's spam bots trying to get people to be like "oh a sexy jewish nerd from poland is into me? lemme yeah send her some money"
  
  Have they made her Jewish now?
  
  I don't find her sexy (I'm straight) and it seems like a guess at best that she's Jewish.

Plot twist: Shes just a lonely person stationed somewhere far away from civilization trying desperately to make friends and find love online.
- Who isn't?
- Imagine if it's just actually her pulling the most epic troll in Lemmy history.
- She's in ~~Vancouver~~ Toronto.
  Edit: corrected location
  
  Mine is in Toronto, but originally from Poland

Today I finally received one, I’m worthy enough to be targeted by a bot.
- She was probably afraid to fall in love herself because she really likes trains as well.

Does anyone know who this person actually is? Shouldn't we try to tell them this is happening?
- I think she is the Fediverse chick

Just joined, can someone explain?
- There is a spammer begging for money in DMs using that picture.
- lol, same here, joined 4 days ago. While reading this thread I notice one new DM - guess what 🤣
  
  Zero DMs for me and now I'm sad

I texted back "Just send me the virus link", but did not get a response 🙁

I got mine today
- I have two of the old ones. Waiting excitedly for the new one.
- I just noticed I got mine.

Are you really a Fediverse user if you haven't gotten one of these yet?
- literally joined like an hour ago :-/
  
  What do you think so far? Pretty exciting concept, right?
- I got my first one today. I feel like I have finally made it in the Fediverse.
- I've been here for more than a year and I only got it yesterday. I almost started to feel being left out.
  
  That gives me hope. Still haven't received that pledge of honor.
- I just got my first one yesterday and phew, what a relief. I thought I was a phony for a while there.
  
  She practically could be the mascot at this point
- Haven't gotten one yet :/
- I signed up less than a week ago and got one overnight... though I've been on mastodon for years and not got one - seems like you get accepted easier here than there 😜
- I haven't gotten one yet, maybe because I don't comment much. Edit: just got it lol
- I mean I got my first one just Friday.

Ah she's on mastodon too?! Hahaha. Nicole will go down in fediverse history and I love it.

I got my first one at last. I'm in the cool kids' club now.

Has anyone actually joined that discord? I'm curious what's on it but I'm sure as hell not joining it myself

I just checked my messages and there she is 🥲 I feel both seen and seen through, as though this is what it feels like when doves cry 🥲

Did anybody ever go as far as to click a link and see what kind of virus it was?

This is a really rare picture of her. Amazing.
- Rare pepe? No, rare fediverse chick.
- Rare Fediverse Chick 😱

I love the fediverse chick
- Woah back off pardner, she's mine!
- She has a discord, she's not "the fediverse chick"😅
  
  But you can call her that

Hah. I just got my first one today. I immediately chalked it up to spam, but didn't know it was so widespread. Hilarious.
- As did I just a few minutes ago. I feel so special!

The most famous woman on Lemmy.
- The ~~most famous~~ woman on Lemmy.
  
  What about Oscar-nominated character actress Margot Robbie?
- And she doesn't even know it

Just checking in
- Got the same message today as well

and her bong

Hi, I’m Nicole! But you can call me the Fediverse Chick :D I’m a proud Polish girl from Toronto (29 y/o) I’m currently taking the pre-health sciences program at George Brown College hoping to get into the medical field someday!

Concerning that it's this easy for them to spam so many people. She might be exposing how easy Lemmy is to exploit. Does each instance have to maintain its own ban list?

I still haven't been hit:(
- Me neither

I wonder where the image used originates from. Makes me think of someone's webcam getting hacked and they're just doing normal things unknowingly while getting pictures taken of them.
- That's creepy

She's evolving

her?

Got pinged by the spammer earlier today on Mastodon. Nothing on Lemmy yet.

@Veedem 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Literally joined 3 days ago, and I already got her msg yesterday 🤣

I've got three of these messages at this point

Got me this morning

I saw it twice months ago, and then never again.
- It spammed me twice, but I've blocked her and reported her.
